Europe Trip Recap: Bueller, Bueller, Bueller

I am am always on the hunt for fun. Not to mention that mini adrenaline rushes can really pick you up. I mentioned the rides and carnivals often in my Europe recaps, we tried to hit up one in each country. Too bad Italy killed the streak. Here are some pictures from some of the best unplanned, spontaneous times we had in Europe.

Things I love: European Magazines

When I was traveling in Europe I made to sure to pick up lots of European Magazines along the way. They weren't exactly the lightest souvenir but they were well worth it. European magazies are always filled with inspirational pictures and had great editorials to gaze over. While you can purchase some of these magazines in the States, these ones hold a little more value to me. I just love looking over at my magazine basket and catching a glimpse of an Italian Vogue in there, it reminds me of the chic European women I saw.

Europe Trip Recap: Jíst-Essen-Mangiare

I think one of I love most about traveling is sampling the local food. Prior to when I got sick I had previously been eating vegetarian, but just as I had last year on my trip to China, I planned to break from eating veggie to enjoy the food to the fullest. We found lots of amazing food in Europe, ranging from tradition fare to modern delights enjoyed by the Europeans. Indian food and curry was very popular everywhere we went. I enjoyed watching what the young European girls ate and drank. Eating out was one of my favorite things to do on our trip. Here is a sample of some of the foods we enjoyed .

German Pastries

Wiener schnitzel

A fabulous salad from and Indian Restaurant in Germany.
There was pineapple, strawberries and melons in it.

Dumplings in Prague

Potato soup

Sausage and sauerkraut in Prague.

Espresso Breakfast Box in Vienna, we went back twice for this because I loved it so much.

Pizza!Prosciutto and Ham in Italy.

Pasta and Seafood in Venice!

Europe Trip: I'm Back!

I'm Back!! I missed you all! I have a list of things to do this weekend including lots of blog reading to catch up on this weekend. Hours of sleep to log in. Bags to to unpack. Clothes to wash. And some 2000 plus pictures to sort from. However, this picture taken by Casey after Johnny, Eric and I (other wise known as Team Funhouse) completed our first of many Fun Houses in Europe. We had just gone down a 6 foot story slide that Johnny had intelligently decided to go down backwards. All we could hear was his back skidding down and "Owe! Owe! Owe!" the whole time. Good times, I tell you.

Yay for being home, Fun houses and Memories that last a lifetime.

Things I love: Out For The Count

It's the night before I leave and I am still packing, and putting together the loose ends. I'm just hoping I can sleep tonight! Tomorrow morning I'm off for our trip to Europe, and much like or trip to Beijing last year, we will be rolling with a similar crew of hooligans. Strangely enough this time all of our partners of crime were Casey's groomsmen. Casey has known them all for years, but they have also become some of my best friends as well. I'll be the only chick on board but I'm not too worried, I think I'll find plenty of time to hit up the shops. We are begin our trip by landing in Frankfurt to meet up with Cyrus' brother who lives there. After a few days there we plan to drive to Prague (my mother land), then onto Austria and we will then complete our trip in Venice. I'll be blogging as much as I can over there!
